The Summer 2025 Transfer Window Thread

For me, this is the real fallout now of the Lopetegui saga. I wasn’t too bothered about losing Lopetegui as an individual. Even after Lage, I would say the clubs stock was reasonably high, but we all know Lopetegui walked because of the constant moving of goalposts and downgrading in the support the club was willing to provide him/the team, over the course of a matter of weeks. We know it, and the footballing world knows it. So, whenever we are now talking to players and in the future, potential managers, potential DOFs, whatever “vision” the club is trying to sell, a 2 year plan, 3 year plan, 5 year plan, whatever………. All the time it’s coming from Fosun, nobody is going to take it seriously, because they know Jeff’s word means fuck all.

Regardless of Josh Brownhill's attributes, and how we perceive him, it shouldn't go unnoticed that even someone as limited as him views us as dogshit...

you're entitled to your opinion, but I think what you have said is bollocks
 
I think that Vito would look at the 12m 'signing on' fee and £100,000 per week required as totally unacceptable, and so Vito decided not to contact him. Not the other way round. So Brownhills' view of us was immaterial.

Whether we contacted him or not is immaterial, Brownhills view of us is that he wouldn't have joined us anyway. Surely that starts alarm bells ringing?
 
How many of the signings have Vitor's fingerprints over them...first time Jackson met him was after he signed, another signing said he was looking forward to speaking to the manager. Fer Lopez feels like another "project signing" (by project, hope to move on for a profit).

I disagree with him on Krejci. If we had signed a central midfielder but failed to sign another left footed CB I'd be feeling exactly how I am now. That was an essential signing.

Agree. Both him and Judah seem strangely oblivious to our clear deficiencies in defence and the potential transformative nature of an upgrade there. They’ve been more than happy with some players there for a long time whose presence is just one and the same as the downgrading they’re belatedly picking up elsewhere. They should be smart enough to see through the ‘boots on the ground’ difference that makes CM problems jump off the page. The rest of it seems fair enough.

Sad state of affairs. I’ve been happy on some level to ignore some of the obvious signs of neglect around the club, but now they all come into glaring focus and it’s not pretty. Hopes pinned on VP building a siege mentality. It’s crazy.
